welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera at least three hundred seventy three people have been confirmed dead after a tsunami struck parts of indonesia on saturday rescue teams are racing to find survivors on the islands of java in sumatra as experts warn more tsunamis could hit in the coming days at least twenty people have been killed in a car bomb and got attack in the afghan capital kabul hundreds of people were trapped when gunmen stormed the government building in the city of the four attackers have now been killed by security forces and the poor performance of u.s. stocks worsened on monday for the fourth day in a row all three major indices closed down almost three percent president of the

federal reserve the for the economic world's. u.s. military officials are heading to turkey to meet their turkish counterparts later this week discussing the surprise u.s. announcement on withdrawal from syria where u.s. forces have been backing kurdish y.p. g. forces in their battle against isis turkish president. he will not give up the fight against eisel syria. why are we in syria to restore freedom to our brothers kurds and turks not just to eradicate the cherished organizations and not to the syrian arab sunni groups of beisel will not leave the arabs syria and the injustice of the units of the p.k. k. . our brothers at the mercy of these terrorist organizations. turkey's border with syria has more on the complexity of the battle for power inside the war torn country. it's thirty percent of syria's territory that can tip

the balance of power the north east was america's zone of influence in this divided country it will soon pull out its forces about having longtime allies to wipe e.g. the syrian kurdish arctic group. truck decision to force. not only to see if. there's. a closer relationship with russia. under the syrian government that's why p.g. dominated syrian democratic forces is reaching out to the syrian government and russia the main power broker in syria to prevent a possible turkish military offensive or takeover of territory the us has said it is going to coordinate its pull out with turkey

a signal that turkish troops or its local allies will move in there is a new relationship between the nato allies after years of disagreement over syria but the warming of ties is testing russian turkish cooperation u.s. withdrawal from from syria and that puts at risk relations between russia and turkey because if that is states and turkey managed to reach the deal on syrian kurds in some way or another that puts at risk. russia turkey. agreements on it or russia's plans on friday was it also. it's not clear how turkey will further behave itself in austin the format. russia turkey and iran have been closely working together on syria within what is known as the astronaut format over the years the u.s. has repeatedly tried to pull away from that alliance if the u.s.

hands over the air to turkey it will not be good for iran so now turkey will be on a collision course with iran. the u.s. decision to withdraw could result in shifting partnerships and a cease fire deal in syria's opposition controlled northwestern province of idlib could be a pretty that deal was the result of russian turkish cooperation despite opposition from the syrian government turkey wanted to prevent military action that could destabilize its security and create a massive refugee crisis now russian diplomats tell us it will be hard to constrain syrian president bashar assad from launching an offensive if turkey takes territory in the north east. the bargaining has begun. southern turkey. and a short time ago president trump said saudi arabia will be stepping in to support syria following the u.s. military pull out this is what he tweeted saudi arabia has now agreed to spend the

necessary money needed to help to rebuild syria instead of the united states see isn't it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors rather than a great country the u.s. that is five thousand miles away thanks to saudi turkey says it's working with several countries to bring about a u.n. investigation into the death of the saudi journalist jamal the shoji the announcement was made by foreign minister. at a news conference in tunis and qatar also wants to share the finding of its investigation with the international community ashaji was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul nearly three months ago. a u.n. monitoring team has arrived in the yemeni city of data it's there to monitor a fragile cease fire which was agreed by the government and who the rebels two weeks ago the team leader retired the dutch general patrick campbell have met representatives of both sides over the weekend he called for the hard won truths to

be respected ramadan has been covering the conflict in yemen extensively he says are they that can set a precedent for setting up cease fires in other cities basically the would. is of the united nations and the rest of the international community because international pressure is what is needed most to make not only this is for succeed but also the purchase. come off with a drop in troops from the city of course is a key plan in the conflict in yemen the most important issue with it is because most of the. groups of possum from the ports. it's vital for the survival of millions of yemen is and if this is fire on the troop withdraw from the city succeeds then that can be extended to places like for example where there's

been years of siege on it and other places where fighting still ridges or. the united arab emirates has released photos of the daughter of one of the country's rulers after rights groups raised concerns about her wellbeing the pictures show shakila teeth with former u.n. high commissioner for human rights mary robinson a state run news agency says the pictures were taken on the center fifteenth and the latif is at home with her family in dubai the princess had released a forty minute video online that went viral where she claimed that she was imprisoned and had been abused for several years. sudan's president has promised economic reforms to provide sudanese people with a better standard of living in his first public comments since protests began six years ago omar al bashir also warned the public not to respond to attempts to sow discord in the country he met his security aides on monday that's according to state media.

the german food industry is undergoing a major change after the government claimed many national foods are too are unhealthy that the situation has been welcomed by health advocates but some are worried it will affect the distinct flavor of german cuisine the mccain explains. christmas in germany means markets with mulled wine and many different things to eat. perhaps apart forced is the order of the day or maybe something sweeter in any event for these people the emphasis is on enjoying the rich flavor of german food. for you german food is great you can't eat it every day but it's christmas so why not just as somebody say office you know and there's a lot of variety in german cuisine you can eat healthily or unhealthily but you have a lot to choose from the use of much more standards for your food than than we do

in america so i'd say in your more focus on healthy things out there and yet clearly the government is worried about what people are eating the agriculture minister so much so she wants radical cuts in what's on offer the government plan is to have the food industry lead the way ministers want companies to introduce twenty percent reductions in fact usage in foods a similar reduction must be brought in for salt content likewise for sugar which many people blame for rising levels of obesity all of these changes must be implemented no later than twenty twenty five the government says it has the backing of many large firms in the german food industry to cut salt sugar and fat content but what about the small of us like those at this christmas market. at this butcher store a wide variety of sausages and other meats from all over germany and beyond is on offer made with the same recipes for generations. in the valley or

a similar shop to me here is good because our ingredients are really specific and there are very few ways we can really change them. obviously our methods have evolved over hundreds of years and clearly we adapt with advances in new technology but there's only but so many ways you can make a salami for example there isn't really much wriggle room we're looking at how we make our products clearly seasonal markets like these are not where most people buy their food the major supermarket chains will be at the forefront of the changes but with a deadline far into the next decade the flavor of german food isn't going to change anytime soon dominic cane al-jazeera. palestinians and pilgrims are gathering in bethlehem in the occupied west bank to mark christmas eve earlier a procession of visitors made their way through an israeli gate in western and into bethlehem the gate is opened once a year and otherwise cuts the ancient religious route it will be held at the church

the war torn country those are the top stories that stay with us the stream is coming up next i'm going to have more news for you in half an hour and for watching by. hi anthony ok and you are in the strain today where talking and singing so come you think if you're not familiar with the unique blend of east indian african rhythms that's been making waves around the world you're in for a treat and whom i really could be a lot of our guest today is so royalty trey gowdy and singer and songwriter and i love blackwell as always i'll be looking out for your comments live on you tube so

send them my way and we've already heard from numerous soca fans from around the world sharing some of their favorite lyrics from my last song take a look. all. he does see hear all of. these gadgets. and there it is down the narrative watch it go on for real what he come from a vendor should go to a very nice if that is the. c word. with he. give it to me and our gal give it to me and out. give it to me and our gal give it to me in a low. amount magnanimous plan. now you know how it was an intruder voice you will get a hearing on her life and first what you were singing yes. little clips

of singing that was so can you say yes if people are just listening right now thinking what is. that would you say i would say this is the land of east indian and africa and this is true in bengal yes there's so much more to it than just blending and fusion we have more news it does that as a world but there's a particular story to how this happened here family is part of that story definitely very instruments of my grandfather's in the russia also known as lord shorty and he was the one that started silk a music in trinidad and in the caribbean before there was so there was calypso and he felt like there was a divide between the east indian and the africans living in trinidad and he wanted a music for them to be one so that we would no longer be indian africa who would be

trinidadians big union and i was really how the thoughts about it started you know i mean he was part of. his mom was a dog lover which is a mixture between indian african and he had his grandfather was an indian man but he was seen as a black boy so growing up in east indian village he faced a lot of racial discrimination because of his column because of what he looked like but he was part indian saw he always wanted to connect the two so that there wouldn't be this divide anymore. after so many years of experiments and with music because he was a calypsonian first he decided that he was going to me. and that's where it's that it is resonating and has resonated so we got tweets about people's appreciation for the music and of course also for the history of how it

came to be this is true now who is picking up on that idea uniting groups of people she says i think so but is the dance hall of color so i believe it's created to be a. band-aid to the knife wounds of racial tension and racism it is usually sufficient for the duration of the songs or season but that's about as effective as it gets so you know she seems to like the idea of it healing racial tensions she says it's a certain part of the year that happens would you push back against that would you agree i definitely do agree because i believe that we always like to have the idea of being united and we definitely are our own carnival time we have this festival mention the island caribbean core carnival it started out and that's really where people feel because so-called drives carnivals is what makes carnival carnival and that point in time it doesn't matter who you were you could be a vagrant on the street somebody is going to love you somebody is going to make you

feel you i mean because we just loving each other that that's a special time of the year and it's sad but so shines about point in time and then as the year go by it dies and saw does the love you know so does the appreciation for one another and that unity attitude it was a we you know i want to show a picture of you with your granddad or shorty here i'm not sure who looks more surprised you or your granddad i suppose just finished crying. to you so much so that you put him on the top of one of your videos what did you do that because because of the history of music. i would always see it's very sad but i think i live in a society where we have a measure people forget people don't like to give respect when specters you and he

has worked so hard and fought so hard to create something and yes people know that he was you want to started but they don't always give him the credit and. i feel like i wanted to remind them where it all comes from because i mean we have so much culture coming out of trance big no i mean we have carnival we have this new pilots on national instrument it was created right there in children's amigo this tiny twin island these tiny twin islands right off of venezuela the end of the carolinas doing a humble brag. here i mean like we have calypso calypso was created right and in in trinidad we have soca music and we're not taught these things in school we're not we're not taught our culture enough and i wanted people to know i think that there's not a lot of young people in soca music i saw young people don't want the norm connect as much will i i thought so because when i was younger i didn't collect as

much because there wasn't anybody my age doing it and doing it big and well saw i felt like how the younger ones going to know all about the history about what we have so i thought it was so important for them to know their culture know their history and know like you know what i mean so that's why i felt the need to show them what exactly sorcha meant because people here so community and it's like all of us party does have a good time but it's more that much more which is why you put your granddad on the top of one of your videos i can tell it's an old v.h.s. tape there's a little little yellow tape here let's have a listen to it all shorty how he described so conies it. is a combination of east african rhythm. in the seventy's the. sixty nine to seventy with the purpose was to bring. african together. it was a combination of. a mixture of this into the two to create

a song that would be totally trinidad and that is all that. so that was really could he have it's because of lord shore leave his relation to you of course as your grandfather that we got to expect this from alan carr who says she is so royalty she should be regarded her family like the marlies in jamaica are recognized for their national cultural contribution but he goes on to say something that you mentioned earlier about being a young voice he says i love so black man is a critical voice of a cast of young voices who now traditional clips of expressions and current global music trends with the global caribbean acetic further as a female she's in a lane of her own. so it's a weighty thing but do you see yourself as that young voice who is mixing those two things where no one else's i definitely think so because i think the problem with

the use it's a problem but it's actually not a problem at the same time is that we are looking for examples and the examples that we have. it's not necessarily we don't know how to recreate it we don't know how to make a brand new again we don't know how to make it trendy like what is happening now and it's like the same thing over and over and over i was just tired of that i love so community and i'm just like why can't i hear something different why why does it sound like the same all song again you know so i felt the need to do that and i think that now that's inspiring more young people to have their voice and understand that my voice doesn't need to be just like the voices before it can be completely different i can still get true as music a true. that is the perfect transition for us because you say you are not the same old sound my love is going to play a song for us that really brought you into the spotlight it's a twenty seventeen collaboration with musician casts called. while my love affairs

for her acoustic version of the hit have a listen to this video comment from richard ram sunder was a sober analyst and a blogger. air and diversity within the music and the way it's been embraced across the islands and the world i'm always amazed to see how different islands and different types of people from all over the world create their own type of sound with soca music for example here in st lucia lucian could do or daenerys segments and diana they have their own type of same thing in barbados they have music just. has music just for spice among us and st vincent they have their own unique sound for vinci mouse and although in japan japanese sagar to make their own so good music with japanese lyrics for their carnival as well so it's incredible to see the amount of diversity that comes from music.

so mad does. seem. a jab may be to maddie to. give you a new life. all of which deny them got muddled up you told me. to send me a new. ally. or you gave him a bridge stuck on the memo sort of on. the ride wrong wrong wrong. and goldwyn. only end up falling. flat.

a little. bit. even if. you need to. see a. change in maddie. to just. use.

done wrong. and you know we. multiply by a thousand clapping you know what is there right now by the way and that is night of black people on line no huge loss to you tube and tweets coming in so i'm all cars says milo black when it will be remembered for having a good tar singing live performing in local cafes and bars to create room to define her voice presence and individuality no cakewalk she earned her keep enough respect someone else watching live on youtube writes in a question for you because she feel that women and so if a certain obstacles that her male counterparts don't. technically think so.

so is a meal dominated industry i'm actually the first woman. i could say that a decade tenure is to break true for the insecure and it's because it's so hard the things that women have to go through because all culture where come of all this comes and. music in general it's very over sexualized. and women feel the pressure to have to do that to get somewhere and it's not fair and a lot of a lot of men take advantage of lots and a lot of women are not strong enough to deal with that and some are we definitely have a means and woman doing it right now. but it's very unfortunate that we would have to go through something like that but a lot of groups have to do with just fight to play their music more to do things

and in exchange to get publicity and it's not fair but it's how women are treated in this industry one of the women who's out there doing it is your mom your entire family and. you kind of. you resisting i have a little bit of a black man this is a nihilist mom. what . would. you. do with sokol stroll in there oh my goodness what a powerful role model to your mommy's doing that but in the way that you put your

music videos together you the lyrics are very powerful but also the visuals are very powerful. i'm trying to think of how i say you are smart hot and sexy but you . don't play me about the way women are seen in so here but you are also incredibly sensuous in the way that you present yourself is that not a is that an irony in not or what are you trying to do the thing about it is that i am not sure that we have always been but a lot of woman on not and they feel the need to be that way so this gives you an idea of what your usual videos like that and the one thing in here all about oh it's an expression that we see in the caribbean it's like oh my gosh oh my love you know it's just like a sigh of relief you know i mean all our voyage. so question here keeping that in

mind this is from sucky i was really excited we're doing the show here says what does she have to say to the critics who disapprove of her style in soap music. what do i have to see it to the critics that disapprove of my cell and so community. well you know i really don't pay attention to the negativity because there's so much positivity coming at me i mean i'm here today in a very so i don't peer tensions are but i think that a lot of people are not comfortable it makes them very uncomfortable change they're not comfortable with change because it's not traditional and it's not the way it's been done before they feel uncomfortable and it makes them you know we would see things so wanted to be the same we are and this is this is the sort of fight that my grandfather got when he had created sort of music because what was known or was done with clips or and that was social commentary and it was it was a lot slower or it wasn't it wasn't like socal saw calypso was very

difference and people shunned him for trying to change it and he got a lot of bashed for it but then how much of a years later it's like the biggest thing i ever saw i watch that and i watch a lot of people that go through similar situations in the world and i see that. if you would have no hitters popping. up. and now it's. one of the things about where you come from trinidad and tobago is that we see it as like here it's beautiful it's stunning people enjoy carnival but then you take the music form a soca and you talk about some very serious issues and that is a challenge for a lot of because it's so happy the music sallies and you want to dance to it and then you hit them with big boned black grow. so only yourself

of your own and own your blackness and how do you make that work for people how does that resonate with people i think it's really. well because not just in the caribbean i mean all over the rule i feel like our system is a problem and. discrimination in general is a problem and there's this idea of beauty and if girls don't fit in that then they feel insecure. and this is a lot are we on your shoulder and i wanted to tell girls it is a matter how you look you should understand that you have beautiful it doesn't matter the color of your skin it is much of what size if you are small and big x. or big it doesn't matter like you are beautiful in yourself because you are you so think wrong blackboard like you know people highlights the red bones the yellow bones the everyone but with my black longer i mean so i thought it was important to

me as a black woman good to see you know which is why we got like this on you tube super tell stories of our struggle as well not just the partying so my little we have to pause you there and to our community we'll see you on line level players out joined by d.j. spice for a mash up of two of her hit songs by a mommy and soak up the first how to listen to trinidad in journalists gray explain what makes my life her music so unique. what i think really significant about my life is her voice like when she came out there was a lot of conversation about how unusual it is i mean fact that she's been able to find success in such an exclusive genre the international success i think is really really good i don't think it's as important i think for fame to city and being able to have your voice in this cultural garner and finding your own success would be

the lesson of. the money. behind. a one on one. dancing on you know it was a. modeling. and then you look. like box like. all.
